These people have so many things going on - they are leaving the USA in the dust

Chshire FD has 24 stations - they utikize fulltime and oncall staff

FireLink is the new nationwide radio system - they just mention it in 1 sentence

The new fire command centers seem to be going nowhere fast - as they mention

They are getting new CAD in 2009

2. all road traffic collisions in 15 minutes

3. 25 engines in one hour to major incidents - or - two 10 pump fires at once

4. alerting times by dispatchers - 50% in under 45 seconds - 75% in 60
seconds - 90% in 90 seconds - 99%in 120 seconds

5. beginning to provide EMS in conjunction with ambulance service

Shifting to 12 hour shifts in some stations

Page 20 of 34 - picture - Cheshire FD looks very similar to a USA FD -
except that pumper has ladder on top, rollup doors, and booster line -
turnout and helmets and SCBA are same as US pretty much

---------------------------------------------
